I'm a lifelong resident of Ocean County, NJ, so of course, I love the beach and the bay. My passions have always been cars and motorcycles (with a soft spot for convertibles). I truly enjoy getting to know people helping folks into their next vehicle. I have also been known to share a few too many pictures of my Great Danes as well. I try to live by the 'Platinum Rule'; "Treat others the way THEY want to be treated".
